<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
Ok, I can't promise you profit, but hopefully you'll have fun. Maven 2 introduces a number of new features (including that performance feature) that make it a swell project management tool for development.
</p><p>
Come hear about how we can abuse Maven to manage distributed deployment scenarios before the Modules JSR is done.
</p><p>
This talk will introduce Maven 2 and what it has to offer as a team-oriented development and project management tool. Then we will take a strange turn and discuss how the MavenEmbedder API can be used as a lightweight, low-admin deployment mechanism for self-updating, distributed Java installations.
</p><p>
This is a very example-driven talk. We'll look at lots of code but you'll be able to walk away with a fresh take on how to roll out a new versions of entire applications, bug fixes, security patches or new features with very little effort.</p>
